This is the only book to present the evidence-based policies and
procedures that medical and non-medical staff can use to develop
Mother-Friendly Care in their facilities. The Mother-Friendly
Childbirth Initiative (MFCI), developed by the Coalition for
Improving Maternity Services (CIMS), is a wellness model designed
to improve birth outcomes and substantially reduce costs. It is an
evidence-based mother-, baby-, and family-friendly model that
focuses on prevention and wellness as alternatives to high-cost
screening, diagnosis, and treatment programs. The MFCI is the first
and only consensus document on U.S. maternity care and is
recognized as an important instrument for change in the U.S. and
abroad.
The book is based on research and evidence developed by CIMS and
includes 10 protocols, each with detailed policies and procedures
and supporting information and resources that help implement the
change to Mother-Friendly Care. Each protocol is authored and
reviewed by recognized leaders in a variety of childbirth and
maternity care arenas. The book traces the development of
Mother-Friendly Care and describes its core tenets along with
supporting statistical information. These tenets eschew practices
not supported by scientific evidence. The manual includes
implementation strategies for the evidence-based nursing care
training programs of such organizations as Lamaze, ICEA, and
AWHONN, and supports the WHO-Unicef "Ten Steps of the Baby-Friendly
Hospital Initiative" to promote successful breastfeeding.
